GDT: 2024-25 season game 77 LA Kings vs Seattle Kraken @7:30pm 4/7/25

[AbsentMojo]

The PowerPlay is pathetic. Kuzmenko was uncharacteristically Kopi-like there where normallly he's agro like Fiala.. Kopi is his usual dust it off, hesitate make the safe play - which has been going on like this for at least 5 years and no one seems to care. He is getting points but this PP is just not going to cut in the post season.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Decent period turned into a bad period really quick, terrible 5 on 3

everyone was looking to get Kopi his 20th I think

 

[Bandit]

I like March Madness.. the one and done thing is cool... due to the transfer portal the smaller schools dont have a chance anymore.. so basically all #1 seeds in final 4 which blows

Sounds like a ringing endorsement of a shit system.

 

[Schmooley]

#7 should just never play a game, not a single game where he isn't making a mistake that leads to a goal

I would rather watch an injured Doughty out there in a wheelchair than #7

Just one problem. Motherf***er won’t shoot.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Need a better effort the rest of the way to take this one

You can see im half hearted about it, but defnitely not as jaded as you where you would watch NYI v ANA.. did u ever like it?

Why don't the Kings bring up Booth or Dvorak anyone but "Kenny 0" Burroughs!!!

Pretend to beat me. I’m a pseudo masochist.

 

[Herby]

All those backhand point shots from NHL video games 25 years ago that I was told were "cheap and fake" were vindicated tonight by none other than Burroughs.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Welp

Like I got reamed for suggesting in the post game of the Edmonton one

This is just a continuation of that sloppy, lack-of-attention-to-detail game, minus the Kuemper heroics and fortunate-timing goals

Seattle was apparently watching that game, as you can see the quick ups getting our guys caught on the wrong side of the puck leading to frequent odd man breaks that they just hadn't been capitalizing on...and why the Oilers COULD have beat us the other day if they weren't icing an AHL team. It was happening all period, zero adjustments, it's like the Kings leaned into it harder and harder instead

and 0 for infinity on the power play is going to break this team's back

 

[AbsentMojo]

You can only explain Burroughs and Lewis by - someone owed someone a favor

 

[Schmooley]

0 for infinity on the power play is going to break this team's back

This is the elephant in the room that Hiller wont address. They will go 0 for 10 on the pp in the first round and hell decide to try something new in game 6 when they are down 2 goals on the brink of elimination.

The body control Q exhibits on plays like that goal is what makes it so maddening when he toe picks on a random pass

 

[AbsentMojo]

Its telling that Hiller cycles the PK pairs 4 on 4 vs go for it with offense

 

[chris kontos]

Its almost like some of daryl suter's teams where the pk was better offensively than the pp

 

[Herby]

I bet Hiller let him have it when he got back to the bench after the 4x4 goal.

I don't hate trying to make a play, but with this team and their philosophy that is a big no-no.

 

[ru4reals]

Oilers even without the 2 headed monster would beat this team in the first round. PP will haunt them forever.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Clarke is pissing. me off.. Look for QB more

 

[chris kontos]

A little cycle in the neutral zone with the man advantage

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

f***ing embarrassing

 

[Little Psycho]

How are they this shit at the pp

 

[Bandit]

The only 2 games the Kings shouldn't win potentially the rest of the way are against Edmonton & Colorado, so of course they'll shit the bed tonight.

Doot doo… doot doo doo…
Doot doo… doot doo doo…

How are they this shit at the pp

Been asking this for 30 years.
